Yeah... if I were to do something like that, I wouldn't let any customers know I did it... but I don't like messing with the network to fix things that aren't really my problem anyway, it would be nice to make those calls stop, but it doesn't seem worth it.
I'm still a bit confused how that is making it work anyway though, since I can ping that IP... how does putting it on an internal router make it work? for those who have done it, is your router giving any HTTP response on that IP? ________________________________ From: Af [af-boun...@afmug.com] on behalf of That One Guy via Af [af@afmug.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2014 11:06 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Belkin routers going nuts that sounds alot like doing Belkins job for them, and guarantees from that point forward everytime a customer has any issue.

Belkin domain is down Also be aware that the belkins use heartbeat.belkin.com<http://heartbeat.belkin.com> to check to see if there is internet access and if the answer comes back negative then it will not connect any lan clients to internet. Also there are a few exploits that have been exposed on 1.00 firmware which do bad things to the wan side of things. I am currently trying to spoof heartbeat.belkin.com<http://heartbeat.belkin.com> to our internal dns to fool the router into thinking everything is ok.
